HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED THERAPY?

People dont come to therapy because they have problems - everyone has problems. People come to therapy because they identify a challenge and want to make authentic changes to better their experience of life. Sometimes individuals see the same issues resurface over and over in differnt forms in their lives and they're unsure why. In everyday life these problems are addressed superficially without delaing with their roots, which is why they may continue despite our best efforts.

In therapy problematic patterns are explored in depth in order to addres teh underlying casues and thus begin to change the driving forces beneath them. In other words, therapy goes beyond the symptoms and targets the actual issues at hand. We use a unique combination of several research proben theories, tailored to each individual, which together can help you transform your life.

BENEFITS OF THERAPY

So many of us have past wounds that prevent us from living the life we truly want. Sometimes it seems easier to ignore pain and hope it will go away, but without tackling old hurts head on, we can remain chained to the past and unable to move forward. Therapy enables individuals to work through the why of their current experiences to find the root of the problem.
